What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the market for its better prices and higher quality of locally grown produce compared to supermarkets. It's seen as a valuable place to support local businesses. However, some feel the market could benefit from more vendors and amenities to create a livelier atmosphere.
"It's a much nicer experience experience than the supermarket. Better prices. Better quality. Locally grown produce.
The market just needs more people, to create a vibe. A nice cafe perhaps. Some more left field stalls to become financially viable.
Don't let the big chains kill local business. That way we all lose."

"The market reflects on the (non)-efficiency of the local government like in so many municipalities in Spain. Sad but not suprisingly so…"
